NAME
CGI::Session::Serialize::php - PHP serializer for CGI::Session
DESCRIPTION
This library can be used by CGI::Session to serialize session data. It
is a wrapper around the "PHP::Session::Serializer::PHP". Use of this
serializer allows common session data storage when writing Web
Applications in both Perl and PHP. NOTE: you will need to store the
Session ID in your PHP session data structure as
$_SESSION['_SESSION_ID'] = session_id(); as the return from the
"thaw()" method is checked for it's existance. "CGI::Session" will
croak with the error "Invalid data structure returned from thaw()" if
it is not seen. Don't forget to add 'serializer:php' to your
"CGI::Session" initialiaztion string. =head1 METHODS
